Recursive Complexities

Forgive your enemies , but never,

never forget their names. - John F. Kennedy

Sitting in the dim lighted room , a cold breeze passes as windows display night time , The white cotton curtains dances with wind and the cold wave hits Aries .

'Where will that bastard take Aera'

he starts to voice his thoughts ,

'What all did he knew and what all did he spit out infront of Her.'

Questions raging with anger , he tried to section every detail in order to think of it .

If I were to keep myself in his shoes , what will I say

The fact that I'm not related to anyone from this house or

That Aerowen's family held something dear to me which I can sacrifice anything for

Or

That Asher and I had something's in mind...

But no , what good will it cause him .

He completes another Wine bottle as his eyes swelled from the sleepless nights , his body not even contributing a bit with physical strength.

His foot collides with the table as he lets out a low scream in pain , he stumbles upon the door as his necklace peeks out from the shirt.

It has a photo.

Aries storms out of the Palace running for some answers.

The moon starts to fade after twilight , as Azriel turns his head to see Aera's hand tightly gripped to the diary as she keeps it near her heart to sleep .

The Diary has a knitted fabric attached to the journal that lay beside Aerowen .

She compliments moonlight , completely unaware of the light she brings in people's life.

Azriel holds the leather journal in his hand and flips to the last page.

He starts to silently read in his mind

You'll probably be told to destroy this

But remember, I always cherished you like fire.

Flames on wood helps you get rid of your hunger and cold but the same fire can get rid of you too in anger.'

His hands rushed to the first page to read the name Asher O' Keeffe .

It's his journal , Aera found it along with mother's diary I suppose that she kept close to her.

Asher writes about his nightmares on abandonment , death of closed ones and how he always limited himself to show affection so his girls will stay independent.

How he noticed and heard everything but sat silently on his throne to see everyone's first move.

Aera didn't support Azriel's idea to leave the country , so they took shelter at the abandoned castle a little West to the kingdom , the rooftop of the castle was majestic.

Azriel kept his senses on alert for safety as he continues to read lines .

Asher seemed to have a sense of fear with Aerowen , he writes , he couldn't sum up the courage to look into her eyes as she holds her mother's vision , a really tough stare to lie to. He writes again , actually you Can't lie to her .

She'll read your body movements before your reflexes work.

In these late hours which reminds me of fantasy novel's climax scenes when wolves come out to play.

I saw Aera tossing and turning in sleep .

Her hair strands cover her eyes , what a beautiful time to see two moons in one frame.

She wakes up, in a sudden , shifts her body to face me.

'What happened to Daniel Vanidestine'

' He must be buried by now , why so sudden' Azriel takes a step closer noticing her eyes leave his.

Aera gets lost in the memory rushing in , his sunflower smile , never ending tales of battles in all Kingdoms that he potrayed with detailing every fight scene as I slowly took notes of all the tactics , if I ever I have the chance to Defend myself .

Azriel's voice gets me out of my head as he stretches his hand to hold the diary on my left side 'Can I read that one' , he asked placing some chocolates in my hand.

'NO' I said firmly 'You Don't even know my mother , you only knew about the jewellery'

, He paused and took his hand back.

Taking a sharp breath he spoke

' Who do you think gave you Scarlette's Necklace and that bronze key underneath the box.'

My jaw dropped on this sudden mystery solving.

We heard the door open and

Azriel looked at me and said

' For all your concerns about Danny , I would only like you to know , he wasn't so of a good man you assume him to be , he had I'll intentions to you as well . '

He Stands in an instant and focused on the staircase to the rooftop , he hands me over Asher's Journal as the pages turn and

It said

Today , I heard Aerowen talk basically argue with Orion

He lost his way back to the dinning hall and almost made Aera fall on the turn .

She took the book in her hand to smash it into his head . She never chooses peace .

Orion spoke 'That wasn't right , you are not cool'

Aera looked at him and replied ' Doesn't that make me hotter , run before I leave you to ashes'

And took steps forward and slowly said

'Did she drink from the wrong bottle today or something?'

Aerowen's direct stares are so cold , it'll make anyone's spine shiver.

Little love , why don't you practice some piano to ease your mind ,as I always suggest to help you manage your anger and mind.

The wind blows to turn the page to a half torn sheet which was inked only two sentences.

'Be sure to know your needs and wants ,

The flower is pretty but it won't protect you in a battlefield , a sword will.'

Azriel grunts on footsteps echoing in the lifeless Castle .

I kept the Journal along with the Diary to turn and look at the lower side of the Castle , to find Ryder , Aries's Horse .

'Azriel , see that's Ryder , it must be Aries'

I say as he nods thinking and the next thing I felt was his forehead connecting to mine ,

He bent to hug me and a whisper left his mouth tingling my neck 'Trust Noone but Yourself' .

He pulls back to face the door of the rooftop as I stand still as a mountain looking at his back , Mother always told me that.

I can't loose tears now , this is the time to be a mountain and protect both of us.

The day you're born in a Royal Family

The only good thing is all your materialistic demands are fulfilled , but from the same moment you never stop fighting . You are always a part of a war , it can be internal , a battle with other kingdoms , one with family , friends , people you trusted , even things with no life.

Aries climbs up the stairs to meet eyes of Azriel Bonneville focused on him.

Aerowen takes a step forward , looking into Aries eyes as they start to form tears , Aera holds his wrist and throws his dagger in a millisecond.

'Now talk' she speaks in a low voice.

'Aera , Where have you been these three days , Were you Safe ,

He starts to ask all in one breath .

He holds back his words and turns to Azriel and looks back at Aera to ask 'Did he threaten you , Queen'

'Ari , you're mistaking , he's been protecting me all this time ' Her eyes met Azriel's gaze as she lowers her voice to speak ,

'Hard to believe but He's been a real Sweetheart'

' Aera you're too good to understand evil '

Holding his hand out, looking at me he continues

'Hold my hand , let me take you home'

Aera moved her fingers behind her back contemplating about what to choose .

Her feets take a step back.

'Aerowen , Come' Aries raised his voice a bit to hint dominance.

' Your Possessiveness is mixed with jealousy holding anger as its catalyst' Azriel voiced out.

' I didn't ask you to Answer ' Ari's voice explained he's trying to supress his emotions .

' She said no' Azriel shifted his gaze to Aerowen.

' Don't interrupt me , let me talk to the one I care the most about' Ari stayed calm to reply .

'Why Do You Care' Azriel questioned raising a brow.

Aries wasted no time to look at Aera and his eyes softned

'I care because she is my fiance' .
